Get Gear:

Kast-A-Way Swimwear - one of my favorite swim shops

Kiefer - another nice swim shop. Kiefer also has work-outs on their page, which are good for ideas if you aren't swimming with a team.

 

My Gear*:

Speedo Vanquisher Optical - in smoke

Speedo Endurance+ Flyback Training Suit - you need black with pink in your life, trust

Speedo Optimus Trainng Fins

Speedo Pull Bouy - mine is pink and turquoise because I'm awesome, but the blue/white will do fine

Any awesomesauce kick board - you can find kid ones at target. don't be embarrassed.

Strokemaker Hand Paddles - please don't go hurting your shoulder with these

Mesh bag for training gear

 

 

* I am not representing Speedo, but . . . both my club and collegiate teams were Speedo-sponsored. This is what I'm used to. I also have four completely unused Fastskin 2s that I got comped and never wore. Such is life.
